So glad to see that Marc Lee has updated this flagship CCPA study. Report examines the whole tax system (all taxes) and who pays how much by income decile (as well as the top 1%).

BREAKING: The billionaire sprawl developer scandal behind the @Fordnation push for the Greenbelt-eating, taxpayer-swindling Highway 413 boondoggle: thepointer.com/article/2024-0… #onpoli #Stopthe413
